Gibela appoints new CEO
The Board of Directors of Gibela, the South African rolling stock manufacturer, is pleased to announce its appointment of Hector Danisa as the company’s new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) with effect from May 1.
Hector has more than 20 years’ experience in the industrial, logistics, operations and project management sectors. He joined Gibela as a general manager in the CEO’s office in 2015 and was promoted (in 2017) to the position of Project Director and Engineer responsible for the Manufacture and Supply Agreement for PRASA’s rolling stock project.
Hector holds a BSc Honours from the University of KwaZulu-Natal and a Masters in Business Administration from the University of Wales.
Gibela Chairman Mpho Makwana says: “We are excited about the appointment of an internal, home-grown candidate to the position of CEO for a company mandated with the critical task to provide new rolling stock that will better the daily commute of millions of South Africans who use trains.
“Hector has a keen understanding of the strategic significance of the rolling stock project and his strong business and strategic planning acumen positions him well as he takes the baton over from his predecessors during a period when the company gears itself up to achieve its ambitious operational and delivery targets,” Makwana noted.
Hector replaces Thierry Darthout, who will return to Europe after two years at the helm of Gibela.
